Teaser + Announcements

Hey guys! It is way too early, but there it is.

So, before I post my teaser, a few quick ramblings.

One: I was nominated for two blog awards! One by the brilliant Kody Keplinger and one by the lovely Bailey Clement. They are some of the nicest people ever, and there shall be more about that next blog post.

Two: After two very encouraging full-manuscript rejections based upon the same thing (anachronistic dialogue) I am taking a (BRIEF) pause from the query-go-round in order to fix that. That way I can send the agents an even shinier manuscript which they shall love. :D And so, thanks a million to Sushi, Para, and Dys, for taking on my monster of a manuscript for betaing. You guys rock.

And so, without further ado, here is Ginny, Emily's younger sister, discussing a rather unpleasant girl who has just come to town, and their younger brother's burgeoning magical abilities (which tend to run towards the explosive):

Man you nailed the voice. The letter felt like it was from another century, which I'm guessing is world of the characters. Plus I loved the last line - Little George has been exploding flower pots again hahaha!
